THE POETRY OF PICTURES



a heart is given a spark to shine
a reflection appears from the other side
the other wave on the what if of life
perfect soul lost forever more
into the oblivion we fall
with the great cultivator watching it all

 

a taterred hand reaches throught he ripple of time
is it yours or is it mine
to give is unforgivable
so goes the life of the miserable

through the dark chasm a line
familiar faces cut from the sands of time
an illisuion
built souly for the blind

does the ant know he is living in a farm
the product of scientific ingenuity
a ripple in the wave of time
life a mere fluttering of an eye
whos is fluttering as ours passes bye
to live is to love to love is to hurt to hurt is to die inside





REVIEWS AND MUST READS: M L JOHN

Book Review Lady of the Veils By M L John

Lady of the Veils by M. L. John is a captivating novel that grabs the imagination from the first page. Woven fluidly between modern day and fantasy the line between reality and imagination readily slips away leaving the reader wrapped inside a world that could easily exist. The daughter of a Princess Dragonslayer turned corporate wife and mother takes upon herself the task of ensuring her true loves safety in a world where nothing is safe and little is as it originally appears. Fierce sword play, steamy love scenes oozing with the passion of love that consumes the very soul, enchanted forests, and modern day humor make this novel by far not only a must read, but a story that will stand the test of literary time. In this humble readers opinion it is easily a five star read and I highly recommend it. Pick up a copy at Gypsy Shadow Publishing, and be sure to clear some time. Once you turn the first page you will be remiss to place it back down until the last page has been turned. Follow the link below and grab a copy,Happy reading!

Random Bout

Nothing can consume so completely a woman’s heart and soul

as to send the very spark of its beating to furry

save for love in all its arduous forms.

Yet with coal black ice seeping through the veins

 men blink not to the pain of their torture

only slice at the heart more.

So with fury in eyes woman gathers

beneath her docile exterior

to complete the transformation to that of which she loathes.

When men shudder beneath her tiny grasp

 then will they understand loves true wrath.

As well as the depth of a woman's soul.

~R.M. 2011~

World Through My Lens

Beauty is everywhere
One must simply choose to see
Hiding in the distance
dancing atop the breeze
wave as the trees watch you pass by
smile at the bird who sings from ahigh
understand time is the illusion Grand
we are all simply grains of drifting sand

Behind The Scenes

It seems like yesterday. After months of searching internet sites, brochures, and off road community boards we loaded the trucks and headed to Williams Hill Pass in Southern Illinois.Our oversized Dodge truck pulled the weight of the heavy car trailer piled high with our off road toys. Looking back almost a year later, I had no idea how much that trip would change our lives. I invite you to visit Williams Hill Pass nestled in the foothills of the Shawnee National Forest System, just minutes away from The Garden of the Gods. The inspiration for Witan Vid, a book that will soon expand the way you view the world around you. The season opener is rapidly approaching. Have no fear if you are unable to make the March opening they are open all year round with a full schedule of events and a family friendly atmosphere.Find them here!!!
